@@LifestyleOverland be aware of your surroundings. Be aware of your scent take a big gun on Kodiak Island. A very big gun. Those are the largest bears in the world and also the most aggressive. Alaska is beautiful, but unforgiving you don’t often get second chances in Alaska.
Living in an Inupiat village in Northern Alaska I know what would sometimes happen when seal hunting is that they would get a clean shot and kill from the boat and try to speed over to where they shot the seal and reach down with the hook to get it and it would sometimes sink before they could get to it. These would then occasionally wash up on shore. 🤷♀️
That sounds like what could have happened here. Having hunted ducks before I know the really choppy water can hide a dead one easily if you lose sight for just a second or two.
Thank you for taking us along on your camping adventure-seeing whales and bears was truly inspiring and made me love camping even more! Would you be interested in collaborating with us to create more camping videos that everyone will enjoy?
8:24 the problem I’m finding now with my kit is that yes a RTT helps with the setup/packing it’s all the other stuff that we’ve accumulated over last couple of years that never seams to get used for the odd situation (ie tarp and para cord.) so I’m working on getting back to the basics.
Long time fan. At minute 16:56 roughly, complete the story of the cycle life. The seal was killed, how we do not know but assume, however; the circle of life happens. Still watching but needed to comment here.
I have a question. I noticed in the last episode when you were on the fairy when asked if you had any firearms, you said “no” but during the mile walk to check out the suspected whale bone, I noticed you had what looked like a gun with rounds on a sling? Just curious is all! Lol
Oh okay! Makes much more sense! Curiosity just got the best of me so I had to ask! Love the channel and content! Hope you and your family have very blessed and merry Christmas!
Dude. You might be careful with assumptions on how that seal died... In all our experiences with Alaska Natives and Indigenous cultures, never have we witnessed a complete disrespect towards wildlife and a food resource. Especially since so much of that seal could have been put to use. One other, equally if not more plausible, explanation is the seal was disrupting a commercial boat’s work and they shot it. There are good and respectful commercial boats, but there’s a lot of shady and cruel boats that completely disrespect nature and when you’re out to sea there are no laws, unless you get caught. I’m not trying to overly critique but with our local knowledge and my years as a captain, I think there could be another explanation. Thanks for the videos from Kodiak.
Definitely many possibilities and not enough time to list them all. I thought I was pretty clear on the fact it was unknown. These potential reasons were from the locals. Your suggestion was the last rumor I mentioned but it sounds like you assume I was directing blame to the natives. I was not. I began the conversation with the rules which mentioned them and legal means of taking them. Since you're also a RUclipsr you probably understand that it's hard to give a long explanation in a shot segment and cover every possible misunderstanding.
@ no joke. The human brain can’t help but fill in the blanks between what is seen in brief clips on RUclips. I just wanted to share local insight and other possibilities. Not being a Karen. lol As you’re seeing Alaska truly is the last frontier with a unique lawless wild west mentality. I was once stuck co-captaining a boat for a cross gulf passage and the two other crew members, which were new acquaintances, took pleasure throwing bait off the stern and shooting seagulls like clay pigeons, for hours. I had to look at the bigger picture of my own safety and didn’t get involved, because accidents happen…all the time… With commercial fishing there’s the short halibut that don’t get humanly released so when you catch one with a torn/scarred jaw it’s from an unprofessional long liner. The factory trawler processors are horrible to the fisheries with bycatch as well. Not to mention the unspeakable violence taken towards the onboard Fish and Game observers. I bet Craig has shared some wild stories from years of living there.

So... how do we feel about bears and camping?

@@randy129 Have you been to Kodiak?
Been 5 years since leaving Kodiak Island. Born and rised. Great to see the places I used to camp, fish, and hunt.
Glad you enjoyed it. Do you miss it?
I could only wish I was camping and saw bears, otters, eagles, and whales. You are living my dream. Thanks for bringing me along.
Thanks for riding along with us!

Beautiful adventure moment. Logs and all! You guys handle the situations well and the world rewards ya for it! haha.
Ahhh, the memories you will have when Abigail grows older. Daddy & DaughterS time. 😊
Arriving at camp at 12:30 AM... those girls are troopers!

Awesome dads always find time to hang out and make cool memories with their kids.
We try!
I’m from Aberdeen, Wa and have lived in Arizona pretty much my entire life. I can say, watching the videos I really miss the gloomy weather.
Funny how that works, right?
Interesting video , lovely scenery . Thanks for sharing . Safe travels !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sensacional! Agora com áudio em português! ❤ 👏👏👏
I was thinking of you when I read the news! I hope it's accurate to what we're saying!
Beautiful area!😊
It really is!
Nice video.

Omg… when the girls had their hair braided together!lol
That Fox looked angry.
Wild looking, right? Those eyes...
😊💕
thats pretty funny. there was a dead whale a few hundred yards from that "whale bone"
Oh yeah?
I have a question. I noticed in the last episode when you were on the fairy when asked if you had any firearms, you said “no” but during the mile walk to check out the suspected whale bone, I noticed you had what looked like a gun with rounds on a sling? Just curious is all! Lol
It was in Craig's truck. I didn't bring any since I came through Canada 👍
Oh okay! Makes much more sense! Curiosity just got the best of me so I had to ask! Love the channel and content! Hope you and your family have very blessed and merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Your ads are blocking the closed captioning. 😢
youtube red....ad free?
Yeah that was not a shark
Let's hear your suggestion!
@ sharks don’t have bones. Sharks have cartilage instead of bone. My guess would be seal.
That's not maple syrup.
